Vendors Wanted – Community Days/Highland Park Yard Sale

The Highland Park Yard Sale is one of the biggest, baddest yard sales in town.  Some very interesting people, with some very interesting stuff live in Highland Park.

This year the Union Project is back in on the action with their community day.  They will open up their doors to vendors of all sorts of things.  So if you don’t live in Highland Park, you can come to Highland park and sell your stuff too.

COMMUNITY DAY VENDORS – CALLING ALL VENDORS, June 1st
We are very excited to announce that we are now taking vendor applications for the Community Day Vendor Fair, June 1st. This event is held in partnership with the Highland Park Yard Sale. This yard sale is not your average- there are detailed maps describing all that is available at each home and it attracts around 500-1000 people, depending on the weather. Because we had such a great response last year, we will be expanding the sale to inside as well. We will be providing breakfast/lunch specials, crafts to keep the kiddies happy, music and space for 50 craft vendors. We fill up very quickly, so please call Hilary with any questions at 412-363-4550 x26 or email her at Hilary@unionproject.org to get a vendor form. All forms are due by May 21st.
